I asked 500 developers: "What year did you fall in love with code?" The answers ranged from 1995 (JavaScript's birth) to 2024 (AI coding). But NO ONE knew the FULL story. So I animated it. 40 years. 40 frames. 40 seconds of history. 1989 → Tim Berners-Lee types "Information Management: A Proposal" 1995 → Brendan Eich builds JavaScript in 10 DAYS (still runs the web) 2004 → Gmail proves pages don't need to refresh 2009 → Node.js frees JavaScript from browsers 2013 → React changes how we think about UI 2024 → AI writes 46% of your code (GitHub Copilot data) The craziest part? Every single framework, every language, every pixel... Exists to connect humans to each other. Not to impress recruiters. Not to win tech debates. To make someone's life 0.1 seconds easier. 👇 What year did YOU write your first line of code?
